Mage Council Plotting!

[mythalenaste]

Hear ye, hear ye!

As of this meeting taking place on 3 Firstfall, the mages of the Inquisition have agreed (somewhat) to form a Council of Magi for the purpose of organizing the mages of the Inquisition, ensuring their rights and enforcing a code of conduct.

The number of members of the Council has not been decided, but there is a vague idea that different sects from within the mages present in the Inquisition will be represented.

This post is to hammer out the details of this council, as well as compile a list of topics that need to be addressed by them presently.

Everybody come in and talk about things!

We should probably figure out what the council will actually do too, especially in a way that doesn't just cut off CR for non-mage players. Like let's say a player of a mage goes "Okay, my mage just set fire to an NPC's fruit stand and I'm ready for him to accept the consequences." Like what happens next? Does the mage council say "We'll handle his punishment," or does it vote to hand him over to the Templars for punishment, or the Inquisition leaders for punishment, or what?

I expect the council would deal with that at their discretion, like, depending on who the victim was and the council's relationship with the templars. In the above scenario, probably deal with the mage themselves or hand them over to the Inquisition, I would guess? Since the fruit merchant would presumably have joined the Inquisition and therefore be under its protection.

It would probably make sense to have the mage council work closely with the Inquisition advisors (if possible) and the Templars. Like, maybe once the council gets started, they can nominate one or two members to be liaisons between the other two major groups, and they could handle inter-discipline disputes that way?

Or everyone can do that thing where the last person to touch their nose has to do it. Or a round of "Not it!"

Another thing the council will probably be minding is the continued education of the mages- every circle teaches things differently so sharing skills from circle to circle or from non circle mages to the rest could be a thing as well.

Oo, yeah. It will be a fun way to learn new spells, but could also be used as a source of tension between different mages or mages and templars, because everyone has their own ideas on the best way to train mages.

Definitively!

Oh man, brilliant. Education of younger mages should be a top priority. There might be a councilor whose responsibility it is to oversee that.
